FILE: PZ2020-45
STAFF REPORT
Stephen West is requesting permission to expand a charter• school at 10255 Eastex Frwy.
Triumph Church requested a Specific Use Permit for a school in 2011. Plans are to expand the
school by placing three (3) modular buildings on the property just north of the existing
school/church. The existing parking will be sufficient for the added classroom space. The school,
in general, does not operate at the same time the church is meeting. The property is bordered to
the west by Old Voth Road and to the cast by Eastex Freeway.
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following condition:
1. An amended Specific Use Permit would be required for 10255 Eastex should the
buildings be leased or sold to a different owner or user.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
